“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”


“Our typical dog sitter was busy for our weekend trip (we waited too long to reach out, that was our bad.) so I had to find someone else we could trust. Tracy has tons of positive reviews and was super quick getting back to me. The doggies were well taken care of. This was perfect for our short trip. Letting anyone into your home can be a little sketchy, but I never felt nervous on this trip. I definitely recommend.”


“Lisa gave great updates, followed my dogs’ schedules properly, even cleaned up some messes which I am so appreciative of! She gave them lots of love and care! She was great!”


About: At Williamson Animal Care and Control I volunteered walking dogs. I also received significant training in dog behavior and dog walking. After retiring from my career, I started my pet sitting and dog walking career. I took care of a rescued Great Pyrenees multiple times during the week and frequently overnight trips for over two years. I recently moved back to the Fort Wayne area from Franklin, TN. Three of my previous dog clients have shown interest in having me come back to stay with their dogs when they’re out of town for more than a couple days. Pet sitting and dog walking are my primary responsibilities along with taking care of my two cats. I have a very flexible and available schedule. I take pride and making sure that the client’s home is as good if not better when I entered. I will walk the dog, feed or treat, make sure the water bowl is full and also if appropriate snuggles.

“This was my first experience with Rover and Brianna was great! She was flexible with all known and last minute requests while caring for my dogs at our house. She sent pictures throughout the week, communicated when she would be away from the dogs during the day and when she returned, provided updates on how they were doing, and didn't hesitate to ask questions if my notes were unclear. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future bookings. Thanks again!”


“Tricia is absolutely wonderful with our pets! We haven't ever seen them take to to strangers as well s they did her. Her laugh while playing with the dogs was truly infectious. We've already booked her again for our next vacation.”


About: Reliable, loving pet sitter with flexible hours! Walks, playtime, cuddles, and care: just like when pet parents are home! I have experience caring for puppy/kitten-aged and senior animals, as well as administering taken-by-mouth medicine. I have interned at a veterinary emergency and specialty hospital. I thoughtfully build pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I make sure each visit fits smoothly into my schedule so I can give the pets my full attention, whether it's a midday walk, feeding, or just keeping them company! I make sure each pet gets the love and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow each pet's routine closely: meals, walks, play, and medications if needed. I make sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. When dog-walking, I prioritize safety, leash manners, and making sure each walk is engaging and suited to the dog's energy level. I aim to create a calm, consistent experience so pets are happy and owners have peace of mind.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Samantha provided for my dogs and cat during our recent trip. From the moment we met, it was clear that she is a true animal lover with a passion for ensuring pets are comfortable and well-cared for. My 3 dogs and cat felt at ease immediately, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the stay, Samantha was highly communicative, sending daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. She made sure to follow my pets routine and even went the extra mile by taking my shepherds on walks daily. When I returned, my pets were calm, happy, and healthy – a clear sign of the excellent care they all received. I would absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Lydia did a fine job house sitting and talking care of our dog and cat. She even passed out candy Halloween night! We felt very comfortable being over seas knowing our home and animals were taken care of.”


About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.

“Erin was awesome with Anubis and very flexible when my plans had changed. I will definitely have her watch Anubis again knowing he will be in excellent hands.”


“We are so thankful to have found Bree. She provided constant updates and was always willing to check in more if we wanted. We will 100% be using her for our extended vacations.”


“Natalie did a great job watching my 2 pups while we were out of town. She was so sweet and kind. My dogs felt comfortable with her right away. She communicated well with me regarding my dog’s needs and sent me a few pictures and updates while we were gone. Definitely would recommend Natalie for your pet care needs.”


“Alydia did an amazing job watching our pups. She went above and beyond with everything that was asked of her. Great communication as well! 10/10 recommend”


“Sami wathced our dog over the weekend and did an amazing job. She was nice enought to come over to our house before our trip so that we could introduce her to our dog and our house, which helped us feel much more comfortable. She sent us daily pictures/updates. We would definitely choose to work with her again!”


“Sarah is absolutely amazing! Our fur babies were so well taken care of and she updated us everyday while we were on vacation!”


About: We have a home where I have cared for and given a loving family to dogs and cats for years. We believe in a safe and playful environment for all animals upbringing. I only work part time and also work from home so I am able to pretty much dedicate all my attention to the animals when they need it. I have a fenced yard in my home where I can keep the pups stimulated with play time occasionally. If I have other dogs I'll make sure they get along but if need be separated. I mostly wfh and am trying to accommodate busy people by making last minute bookings so I'm pretty much available whenever it is convenient for you. In my home, I make sure to provide plenty of love and attention to all pets in my care. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, providing access to fresh water, and giving them opportunities for exercise and play. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and comfortable for them. When providing services like house visits or house sitting, I follow the same routine as in my own home and also follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet's owner. If the pet is staying with me for an extended period of time, like during a boarding service, I also make sure to take them on regular walks and provide them with mental stimulation through activities. As mentioned, I have a fenced yard and able to put them on a playpen for their safety and comfort if necessary.

“Mary was absolutely incredible with our senior dog Connie. She followed all the care instructions really well and provided daily updates while we were on vacation. She even offered to stay later to wait for us to board our flight to make sure we were making it home on time in case of any delays or cancellation. She also cleaned up our place, washed the sheets and dishes which we never expect pet sitters to do, but it was amazing to come home late and not having to do laundry. We won’t hesitate to book with Mary again next time we are on vacation”


“Brandi and Lu were excellent dog sitters. Our dogs fell in love with them immediately and I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We needed help with a sitter for a long trip last minute and they were so accommodating. Not only were they over communicative and followed all the instructions for our special girls, they were lovely house guests. They went above and beyond, and even brushed my fluffy dog. But most of all, my girls were happy. Will definitely be having them again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻”


About: Since I was a child, animals have been a part of my life. In the summer when I was not in school, I would bathe, walk, and feed pets in my neighborhood as a hobby. And now that I am older, I have applied that enthusiasm to my current career. Hello! My name is Grace, and I am an extremely outgoing person who is always eager to meet new people and animals. I have a lovely cat named Jasper and a loving dog named Maze. In addition, I have worked for two years at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, where I care for a variety of species such as birds, lizards, and aquatic animals. There I have the joy of meeting animals all day, so I hope I will be able to see yours too very soon! I am working part-time at my current job so I can spend time with your animals Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all day cat sitting, overnight sitting, and drop-ins. It's crucial to respect and adhere to my client's privacy, house rules, and especially their pet security requirements no matter what my opinions are. I always think it is a great idea to ask before taking action.

4. Rita W.
“I’m writing to highly recommend Rita as a responsible and caring pet sitter. Rita has watched our two cats, Trixie and Carol Channing, on multiple occasions, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Trixie can be quite shy, but Rita has a gentle and patient nature that quickly earned her trust. She always took the time to make Trixie feel comfortable, often staying a bit longer than expected just to ensure both cats were happy and relaxed. Her dedication and genuine love for animals really shone through. Rita was consistently reliable and communicative. She kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the pictures that both Trixie and Carol Channing were calm and content under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She’s been a wonderful presence in our cats’ lives and a huge help to us.”
